That was only part of the two-month campaign of harassment — a campaign that led to Traficante's guilty plea in federal court Thursday to cyberstalking and possession of illegal drugs.

Traficante, a 23-year-old Long Island resident, also sent threatening texts to the SUNY Geneseo student and her sorority sisters.

In federal court Thursday, Traficante admitted to the crimes in late 2017. Under a plea agreement, his recommended sentence is between 30 and 37 months. He is now jailed and awaiting sentencing, which is expected in several months.

After court, Traficante's attorney, Raymond Perini, said Traficante should not be judged by the months that he harassed the students. "It's not who he is," Perini said.

Prosecutors say that this was not the first episode of harassment for Traficante.

"The investigation identified another victim who Traficante also subjected to similar digital harassment in 2014-2015 prior to harassing the (SUNY Geneseo) victim," the plea agreement states.

Traficante has not been accused of any crimes in that episode and no more information was available Thursday.

In the plea Traficante also admitted to once sending the victim a screen shot of her location and asking "where she was." He acknowledged sending "numerous threatening text messages to the victim and her classmates and her housemates."

One message said, "There are various people among different orgs who have hurt me. My plan is to hurt them."
